How Online Private Coaching works?

Needs analysis

We ask you about your current skills level in detail and what you want to work on. This allows us to plan your lessons in advance.

One-to-one lessons

Your individual lessons are designed around your needs and skills. Each lesson will cover the areas you highlight in your needs analysis. The course has the flexibility to address new needs as they emerge during your lessons.

Tutor assignment

You tell us when you are available for lessons, so we can assign the right trainer to work with you. Lessons are online, so you just need a PC or laptop and a good internet connection. Your trainer is given a full briefing on what you need.

Feedback and Review

We take regular feedback from you so everyone is working together to make sure you are making maximum progress.
